Retrospect After A Fit Of Severe Sickness

When down the stream of life we float,

As in some sinking leaky boat,

We’re dash’d on shoals and rocks remote,

Half drown’d already;

Then haply rest our way, to note,

In some kind eddy.

Soon rushing freshets raise the flood,

Again before the storm we scud,

’Till on some craggy point we thud –

By tempests carried;

Or in some creek stuck fast in mud,

In waves we’re buried.

Of, if perchance we keep the current,

And ride upon the foaming torrent,

We drive elate without a warrant,

Far from the coast;

’Till plung’d beneath the wave abhorrent,

We’re sunk and lost.
